The strength of High Rocks lies in its staff: in each counselor's unique talents and personality, and in an expression of these through the combined effort of the staff working together. We are a team of caring people who share thoughts with each other, try new approaches, support one another, and who are creative, energetic, responsible, and patient while leading by example.

Our staff is professional and dedicated to the field of experiential education. They have chosen this field as their pursuit in life. The age range for our staff is 22-30. All of our staff have had extensive experience with children in the outdoors and many hold professional certifications in their focus activity including swiftwater rescue, American Canoe Association Instructor Certification, High Ropes Course Certification, and rock rescue. Our staff members have also committed themselves to safety by holding a minimum certification of Wilderness First Aid/ CPR while most have Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness EMT.
